WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2018 /Standard
Newswire/ -- Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. State Department
requesting all records regarding the security clearance status of former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and four of her top aides during her
tenure at the State Department.

Clinton's security clearance
reportedly was withdrawn at her request on August 30 – which is nine
days after Judicial Watch filed an
August 21 FOIA request seeking information on the former Secretary
of State's security clearance status.

Judicial Watch filed its lawsuit (Judicial
Watch v. U.S. Department of State (1:18-cv-02496)) in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia after the State Department
failed to respond to the August 21 FOIA request seeking:

Any and all records concerning, regarding, or
relating to the security clearance status of Clinton, Huma Abedin,
Cheryl Mills, Jacob Sullivan and Phillipe Reines.
